Is nothing sacred? -g- Apparently not. Read the sign. "refuse to accept the pale imitation offered by supermarkets" thesun.co.uk I may well drop by the place in the next week or two. -g- Maybe I can source their bread and oatcakes ? In the days of ships powered by sail, the "salt pork" given to sailors was often referred to as "salt horse" because that usually is what it was. Horses were the power in all business and nothing got wasted. Few seem to be able to accept that reality even today. The Royal Navy used to issue half a pint of rum and eight pints a beer per man as a daily supplement. Sailors would often mix the rum and the beer together and call the combination "flip". I think that was supplied mainly to help wash down the "salt horse" as the flavour used to be a little off. The "salt horse" and "dead horse" meanings carry over to other areas concerning sailors of olden times. fyi2000.com
